Undead Scourge who love farming

"Gu, just kill me."

?

Looking at Alice's resolute expression, Lawrence was completely bewildered.

What happened? I just greeted her, why did she ask me to kill her?

Lauren recalled his previous actions.

Approach the other person and greet them gently from a relatively safe distance.

It seems there's no problem at all.

Why did she suddenly try to commit suicide?

Although the greeting was a bit sudden and startled her, she still gave me a purification spell, so all in all, I still lost out.

Why does she look so aggrieved?

After pondering for a while, Loren, unable to figure it out, had no choice but to give up and focus his attention on something more important—the soul sorceress he had finally found seemed to have some psychological problems, and she seemed to want to commit suicide.

Yes, there is a cemetery on the outskirts of my town, and it is a long-abandoned cemetery. Normal people would not come here. But it is reasonable for people who want to die to come here. After all, they don't need to find a place to be buried after they die here. It is convenient and quick.

As for why he asked me to kill her, the reason is simple: his town is several kilometers away from the outermost edge of the cemetery. The fact that she hasn't made a move after traveling so far means she can't bring herself to do it. After encountering me, she thought I was a fellow traveler and asked for my help.

It all fits together, everything fits together.

Indeed, I still have to rely on the amazing wisdom I gained from experiencing modern education.

After gloating for a while, Lauren began to think about how to solve this thorny problem.

Perhaps others in this era wouldn't care about these things, thinking that a beating would be enough, but Loren, who came from modern society, knew that some serious psychological problems could even lead to self-destructive tendencies. If Alice committed suicide, where would he find another soul sorcerer?

However, he had no clue how to treat mental illness, since his only knowledge of psychology came from social skills and people-reading techniques he had seen on short videos.

Well, no matter what, it's always better to treat her better in the future. The most important task right now is to prevent her from committing suicide. As for the remaining psychological problems, we can only treat them slowly.

"No, you can't die on your own. You're still useful to me. Wait until I'm done with you before you die," Loren retorted immediately after a brief moment of thought.

For someone who wants to commit suicide, you need to be serious. First, you need to make her understand that death is not a game. Then, tell her that she is not useless and that she is still useful. Finally, set a seemingly limited time so that she has something to look forward to. However, it is hard to say exactly when she will run out of time.

As expected, as soon as Lauren said this, Alice, who was originally very emotional, immediately quieted down. However, for some reason, her body was trembling and her eyes were filled with tears, making her look like a child whose lollipop had been taken away.

Wow, my talk therapy was so effective! Just a few simple words made her give up her suicidal thoughts and she was so moved she almost cried. It seems I have a real talent for being a psychologist.

As expected, my extraordinary wisdom is still too overpowered in another world.

Lauren was very satisfied with Alice's reaction.

Alice, on the other hand, was terrified.

What kind of monster is this person that won't even allow suicide? What does "use him and then die" mean? How does he intend to use him?

So this man really is a dark sorcerer? And he needs me to be his experimental subject for witchcraft?

Does this mean I'll only be able to turn into an indescribable mass of minced meat amidst wails and pain from now on?

After consulting the descriptions of dark wizards in her family's archives, she felt that her future was shrouded in darkness.

Alice, in despair, wanted to burst into tears, but seeing the other person's kind smile, she held back her tears.

She was afraid that if her crying disturbed the other person, she would immediately become the subject of today's experiment.

After some time, seeing that Alice had calmed down, Lauren began the routine recruitment process.

"Beautiful lady, welcome to my town. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Lauren. Secondly, please understand that to prevent the town's information from being leaked, people who enter cannot leave. However, I promise you the best treatment I can give you."

How can this person talk about illegal imprisonment so confidently?

Alice thought this, but didn't dare to say it aloud. She just nodded blankly like a broken doll.

"Thank you for your understanding. Now, please allow me to give you a proper introduction to our town."

At this point, Laurent's tone suddenly became excited. After all, it was a town he had built with his own hands, and it was inevitable that he would show off when introducing it to others.

Come on, what man could resist showing off the town you built to his best buddy? It's so cool, okay?

"Doesn't the wheat you see look different from normal wheat? That's right, this is wheat I bred through hybridization, plus a little magic, making its yield three times that of ordinary wheat!"

The two first arrived at the edge of a golden wheat field. A gentle breeze swept across the field, creating waves of golden yellow, where countless farmers were working.

It was a very harmonious scene. If the owner of this place weren't a dark wizard, Alice might have rated it as the best town in the world.

After giving a brief evaluation, she turned her attention to the wheat here.

Just as the wizard had said, the wheat yield here was much higher, and the ears of wheat were full and plump. If this method could be promoted, it might be able to solve the empire's famine problem.

Could he just be an ordinary magician who likes to study magic and doesn't like to be disturbed?

Thinking back on everything, it seems that the other party didn't do anything to her.

That's right, it was all my own fantasy. In reality, the young mayor was just afraid that I would reveal the results of his hard work. He could leave successfully once the other party finished his research.

Upon seeing a glimmer of hope, Alice immediately began to deceive herself.

However, this stroke of luck was soon shattered.

Just as she began to daydream, a ghost dressed as a farmer standing next to her suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, looking as if he had been overworked.

Before Alice could even go over to help, the seemingly calm wheat next to her immediately began to writhe, and countless roots sprouted from the ground, wrapping around it and dragging it underground. Then everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The two fell silent again for a moment.

"Ahem, this is actually a puppet I made. It's reasonable to just recycle it after it breaks down, right?"

In order not to reveal that he was a necromancer, Loren had no choice but to explain it this way.

"That makes sense."

In order to survive, Alice had no choice but to lie through her teeth.

Was I really too naive?

They turn living people into puppets, and when they can no longer work, they serve as nourishment for this strange wheat.

This is absolutely the most evil black wizard ever.

That's it, it's completely over.

Alice became utterly despondent once again.

In the following period, Loren deliberately led Alice away from places where the undead were used as laborers. There was no other way, after all, Alice had psychological problems, and if the fact that she was a necromancer was exposed, she might not be able to handle the shock and might completely break down.

An hour later, after showing Alice around the entire town, Laurent prepared to take her to the city lord's mansion to settle her in. After all, it concerned his grand plan, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.

"Help! I don't want to learn that kind of weird knowledge!"

Suddenly, the two walking on the main road heard a child crying. Alice turned her head and saw a little boy in tattered clothes crying and running away into the distance, followed by a tall man.

"This is a course personally set by the city lord. If you don't learn it, won't I be arrested?" the man behind the child shouted.

Indeed, after establishing the town, Lauren immediately implemented compulsory education and punished parents who did not send their children to school.

After all, since he has undead working for him, he doesn't need labor, but rather a sufficient number of genius scientists and superhumans.

As for why the child was crying, it's probably because math was difficult for him.

But all of this has a different meaning for Alice.

What strange knowledge? Is it not enough for this wizard to merely study forbidden magic, but to spread it as well? He threatens the families of children who refuse to learn.

He truly is a born evil wizard; what a vicious technique!
